Rich, Permanent Colour in a Chunky Block Built for Bold Work

The Derwent Inktense Block in Dark Chocolate 1930 delivers the intense, ink-like colour of the beloved Inktense range in a larger, easier-to-hold block format - perfect for covering broad areas with speed and confidence.

Inktense blocks carry the same water-activated pigment as the Inktense pencil range, but their chunky form makes sweeping washes and wide strokes far more efficient. Apply the block dry for smooth, vibrant coverage, then activate with water to transform the pigment into a rich, permanent ink. Once dry, the colour is fully fixed - allowing you to layer and work over the top without disturbing the colour beneath. This pack contains 6 blocks, all in the warm, deep Dark Chocolate 1930 shade.

Beyond paper, these blocks perform beautifully on silk and cotton, opening up textile art and mixed-media applications. The dry colour applies smoothly and cleanly, while the water-activated ink finish delivers a luminous depth that ordinary watercolour pencils cannot match.

A practical choice for professional artists, leisure painters, and art students aged 14 and above, the Derwent Inktense Block rewards both careful detail work and expressive, gestural technique. Add this pack to your studio or classroom supplies today.

FAQs

The blocks contain the same water-activated Inktense pigment as the pencils but in a larger, chunkier form. This makes them much better suited to covering wide areas quickly. You can use the pencils and blocks together in the same artwork for a consistent colour range.
You can use them completely dry for smooth, vibrant colour on paper. Adding water activates the pigment and transforms it into a rich, ink-like finish. Both approaches are valid and can be combined in the same piece.
Yes. Once the water-activated colour has dried, it is permanent and will not lift or reactivate. This means you can safely layer additional colour, washes, or mediums over the top without disturbing your earlier work.
Yes - Derwent Inktense blocks are suitable for use on silk and cotton, making them a versatile choice for textile artists. Always test on a sample of your fabric before committing to a final piece, as results may vary depending on fibre content and preparation.
This pack contains 6 Inktense blocks, all in the Dark Chocolate 1930 shade. Buying in a pack of 6 is practical for classroom use, bulk studio work, or any project requiring consistent coverage in this colour.
Derwent recommends Inktense products for art students aged 14 and above, as well as hobbyists and professional artists. The blocks are not suitable for young children.
